We drove by and stopped quickly at the Great Salt Lake today. We all laughed because when we walked on the sand - which is really sand/salt - it was crunchy like glass! The kids sure are getting great lessons as we drive across our beautiful country!
We also drove through the Great Salt Desert today. If you have never been here before, just imagine flat land with buttes surrounding you. The land is covered in a blanket of white that looks like snow; but it is actually the salt desert! Really amazing; we had to stop and touch the sand to believe it.
Driving in the car you could imagine it being cold outside surrounded by snow and mountains - but it is actually over 100 degrees!!
Our destination today is Winnemucca, Nevada. Our friends Dave & Denise Wilkins told us about a Johnny Cash song about Winnemucca - called "I've been everywhere, man" and he sings about Winnemucca! So I guess we've "been everywhere, man!" :-)
There are casinos everywhere in NV! Even in Winnemucca! We tried our luck on the slot machines (quarters), and I won a few quarters back before I lost them again! LOL! My only gamble is on the IMF and that they will find a CURE for MYELOMA in our future!!! And we all know that "Until there is a Cure there is the IMF"!
Love and Good Health to all,
Robin
